Plot Items

Transmogrification Chest

The Transmogrification Chest is a plot/utility artifact.

Description: This chest is an extension of old Sher'tul places of power. Any items dropped inside are transported to an other place, processed and destroyed to extract energy. The byproduct of this effect is the creation of gold, which is useless to process, so it is sent back to you.

When you possess the chest all items you walk upon will automatically be put inside and transmogrified when you leave the level. Simply go to your inventory to move them out of the chest if you wish to keep them. Items in the chest will not encumber you.

The Transmogrification Chest can be first obtained by killing Bill the Stone Troll in the 4th level of the Trollmire, and then it is unlocked as a starting item for all future characters.

Once obtained, any new items are automatically placed into the chest, where they do not count toward current encumbrance. When changing a level (forced) or at any time, the chest may be invoked to destroy the items inside, and return gold; more powerful items produce more gold. Items inside the chest may also be transferred to regular inventory, where they will count against your encumbrance, but are also available for use.


Power Source

All items are crafted by someone, or something. A power source is the source of an item's power. In most cases, an item's power source does not impact gameplay, but there are some exceptions to this:

  • Being Anti-magic prevents you from using Arcane powered items.
  • Wearing arcane disrupting items will randomly cause any talent with the is a spell property to fail. This includes runes and sustained talents. The chance of failure is 10% per material level of the item. Items without a material level will be treated as if they were level 1.
  • Solipsists' Psychometry.

There are 6 different power sources:

  • Powered by arcane forces - Associated with mages
  • Infused by nature - Natural forces, originating from the land itself
  • Infused by arcane disrupting forces - Items made by Anti-magic groups, like the Ziguranth
  • Crafted by a master: - Crafted by smiths and similar people without any association to magic or nature
  • Infused by psionic forces - Natural forces that have evolved to keep up with magic
  • Powered by unknown forces - Mysterious or Otherworldly forces
  • Powered by steamtech - Steam powered! (introduced in Embers of Rage)
